INTRODUCTION. 

This book is designed to give the current practice of handling the 
Model 40 Flying Boat with particular attention to unpacking and 
assembling. There are various methods of performing the com- 
ponent operations dealt with and no doubt most of these would give 
satisfactory results, but the following, if consistently adhered to, will 
give good results.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ASSEMBLY. 



METHOD OF SHIPMENT. 

A complete boat, including the engines, is packed in four (4) 
separate boxes. 

Box No. 1 contains the hull, wing floats, engine bed struts and 
other parts. 

Box No. 2 contains the wing panels, struts, and tail units. 

Box No. 3 contains the engine. 

Box No. 4 contains the radiator. 

Note. — Detailed packing lists are enclosed in each box. (See 
Pages 24 to 27 inclusive.) 

HANDLING BOXES. 

In handling and hoisting these shipping boxes, care should be 

* aken when using the sling or bridle that the center of lift comes 

i s near the center of gravity of the box as possible. The boxes 

ontaining the panels and motors are readily handled with ordinary 

? xckle. The bridle can be quickly adjusted for the panel boxes, so 

lat the box rides on an even keel. Attachment straps are provided 
j >r handling the hull box. Even though the hull and other contents 
r :e kept in a fixed position in the box by braces, the part of the 
' >x marked "Top" should be uppermost. In this position the 

ill rests unstrained on the box bracings. The following schedule 
r dicates the approximate weights of the various boxes shipped: 

Pounds.

Before opening- the panel boxes means should be provided for 
supporting the panels in cradles cr on horses or on soft felt pads. 
The panels may 'be thus placed on their leading edge and supported 
' between uprights fastened to the flocr. Caution should be exer- 
cised in opening the panel boxes so that the wood is not splintered 
or forced into the panels. Remove all nails from the top side edges 
of the boxes to "avoid the possibility of tearing the panels when 
they are removed from the -boxes. The members should not be 
forced from the shipping cases. The side walls should be removed 
if there is any evidence of a tight fit. It is much safer to Break the 
packing case than to strain* a flying unit. 

The following blue prints are shipped with each hull packing 
box:

UNPACKING HULL BOX NO. 1. 



1. Remove top and the right side as marked on box, also nose 
and tail braces inside of box. 

2. Remove small parts from the box. 

3. A chain block of 1000 pounds' capacity or over should be used 
in lifting hull from box. 

4. Do not attempt to remove the interior bracing of the hull box 
before the tackle is secured to the hull. Do not attempt to slide the 
hull along the fin edge stringers either before or after the tackle is 
in place. 



18 AEROMARINE MODEL 40 FLYING BOAT HAND BOOK. 

5. The tackle should be so adjusted that the hull will lift evenly J 

6. After lifting boat free from cradle either move box free fromj,; 
under hull or swing boat free from box and lower into cradle. 

Note. — When hull and parts are first removed from boxes they 
should be carefully inspected to see that no damage has occurred 
during shipment. 

UNPACKING BOX NO. 2. 

1. Carefully remove top and such bracing as to allow removal of 
panels, struts, etc. 

UNPACKING BOX NO. 3. 

1. Follow instructions printed on box. 

UNPACKING BOX NO. 4. 

1. Remove top and take out radiator. 

ASSEMBLY OF ENGINE SECTION. 

1. Select a comparatively straight level spot and level up boat 
fore and aft and athwartships. This can be done by using a jig 
which takes into consideration the angle of incidence of two (2) 
degrees. 

2. Level the boat across the mid section by straight edge and 
level set on front and rear beams respectively. The boat can 
be leveled by jacking up cradle at corners. If the boat is moved 
in one direction it should be checked to see that it is still level in | 
any other direction. After checking beat see that the sidewalk 
beams are level laterally. This should be correct unless beams L 
have been damaged in transit. 

3. Attach the lower engine section struts and wood motor bearers i 
and level up engine bed by means of the diagonal wires. These 
wires should be fairly long and can be used to make slight adjust- 
ments in engine bed levels. 

4. Lift engine into place by means of a chain block or other 
suitable tackle. 

5. Engine beds should be level fore and aft and athwartships I 
when boat is level. 

6. Attach gravity gasoline tank. 

7. Connect up piping and wiring to engine. 

8. Attach upper engine- section struts and engine section panel. 

9. Check up level of engine section laterally. 



AEROMARINE MODEL 40 FLYING BOAT HAND BOOK. 19 

,j 10. To check for eight inch stagger drop plumb bob from lead- 
| ing edge of upper engine section panel. The leading edge of the 
| upper wing should be in correct relation to the leading edge of 
;' the lower wing section of the hull. 

11. Attach radiator and connect piping. 

ASSEMBLY OF TAIL SURFACES. 

. 

12. The tail surfaces can be assembled at any time while the 
wings are being assembled. 

(a) Put fin in place and check up vertically. Fin should be 
exactly vertical when boat is level. 

(b) Set stabilizer in place over fin and fasten with bolts. 

(c) Attach steel stabilizer braces to hull and set stay wires. 

(d) Attach rudder and elevator at hinge points. Stay wires from 
horns on rudder and elevators to their respective trailing edges may 
be used to take out any warp in the trailing edges. Control wires 
on elevators should be so adjusted that the elevators are level when 
the control bridge is in neutral position. The control wires should 
be slightly slack when in neutral position, in order not to bind when 
in extreme positions. Control wires on rudder should be fairly taut, 
but must not cause binding on rudder pins. 

ASSEMBLY OF WING PANELS. 

13. (a) Stand complete upper and lower wings on edge parallel 
to each other with leading edges on the ground. Connect wings 
with struts and interplane wires. The system of numbering the 
struts is shown in Figure 10. 

(b) Tighten wires to approximately flying position, giving approxi- 
mately eight inch stagger. Care should be taken that flying wires 
to panel overhang are not too taut. 

(c) Attach steel tube pylons and pylon brace wires. 

(d) Attach ailerons at hinge points and block to keep them from 
moving while the panels are attached to boat. 

(e) Lift panels completely assembled into place and attach at 
| hinge points, holding in position until landing wires are made fast. 
| About five men are necessary to properly handle the assembled 
I wing. 

(/) Connect up all wing control wires. (See fig. 14.) 



20 



AEROMARINE MODEL 40 FLYING BOAT HAND BOOK. 



(g) Adjust interplane wires. In making this adjustment, land- 
ing wires should be used to get proper alignment before adjusting) 
flying wires. After landing wires have been brought to an approxi- 
mately correct tension, flying wires should be made taut but slightly 
less so than landing wires. Tightening flying wires may throw 
wings out of alignment so landing wires should again be checked! 
and adjusted, if necessary. Care should be taken that landing wires 
do not have too much tension. 

(h) Make adjustment of stagger wires, giving both wires approxi 
mately the same tension. 

(i) Make preliminary checking of alignment by eye to see if upper 
leading edge is parallel to lower leading edge. 

(;') Check for eight inch stagger by dropping plumb bob from 
upper leading edge. 

(k) The angle of incidence can be checked by using an adjustable [ ] 
level (see fig. 8), set to two degrees and held parallel to the webs v 
on the lower surfaces of the lower wing. The wing chord is inclined 
two degrees to horizontal. This check should be taken near the 
outer end of wings parallel to centre line of boat. This checks for 
any warp in the wings. 

(I) Check for dihedral by using a long straight edge parallel to 
wing beams with the level tube set at two degrees, or by making 
a level board with the required angle of two degrees and using a

; spirit level on top edge. This gives an upward slope of the wings of 
■ two degrees, if the top edge of the board is level, or the method 
I shown in figure 12 could be used, being the simplest method and 
\ sufficiently accurate. 

(m) See that aileron control wires leading to horns are given the 
j same tension. 

14. Attach wing tip pontoons and set wires taut. 

15. Check length of drift wires from nose of boat to upper wings 
! to see that the wires are equal in length and have the same tension. 
! (This squares the wings with the axis of the hull.) 

16. (a) Make general inspection of all wires, clevises, cotter pins, 
i turnbuckles, pipe lines, wiring, controls, and all connections of any 
; kind to see that they are taut and in proper place and shape. 

(6) Put safety wires on all turnbuckles after final adjustment, 
i Turnbuckles should not show more than three threads outside of 
' barrel, or less than % inch of shank when finally adjusted. 

17. Attach propeller and any accessories.
